Always wondered what the exactly was the criteria was for the record.

Cyprus once won 24 in a row but against much weaker teams.

 

Not sure but I know Cyprus were not IRB (now World Rugby) members which is why they can't take part in the World Cup qualification process. Maybe that's the reason? :mumble:

I don't like either of the teams in :WHT40-29:NZL but fair play to Ireland

:ENG58-15:FIJ YES! England indomitable and formidable in attack. Hard to tell if we just lost concentration in defence or these are actual issues. As for Fiji, they made way too many simple errors, including a ridiculous pass for the 7th (?) try.

:WAL33-30:JPN Japan! Wow! Unfortunately Wales brought it back but still, great effort from the lads. I was watching it 'in the background' but from what I saw Wales were making too many mistakes and Japan's kickers weren't too good.

:RSA18-20:ITA Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika. They bloody need it.

We lost really stupid match vs :SCO (we give penalty in the last minute, hits the post, we don't get the rebound, we give penalty again :facepalm: ). Now we are 100% sure 9th place in ranking for the draw (no chance vs :ENG next week).

 

 

Possible pool with :NZL and :RSA sends a chill down my spine.

:ENG 27-14 :ARG We were okay. But what was Daly doing? Dirty game, finished 13-13 in terms of players. Argentina are crap now lol tho

:SCO 43-16 :GEO That's nice.

:ROU 36-10 :URU Interesting.

    • That was known from the start for  and will be planned for.   Sadly just the reality of sports in North America. Canada and the US are both huge, a flight from Vancouver to Halifax or from Seattle to Miami is north of five hours. Every sports league in North America has to deal with this kind of travel logistics on the regular, so none of this will seem particularly unusual to a North American player.
    • That’s not a long distance, it’s barely a 2h flight and there is no difference in timezone. Easily doable for fans as well.
